The VLE team provides support on digital projects across the university by working alongside academics and professional services colleagues.

One such project is currently investigating how AI can improve or enhance working practices at NTU. With AI technologies like ChatGPT taking center stage in the sector, the team are working with colleagues to provide expertise that empowers individuals to make effective use of these tools as academic experts.

I love the Learning Room style a lot. It's really engaging and the layout makes perfect sense; it has a clear flow and is easy to use. The images/card interaction are especially useful for people who are more visual. I like the 'check your understanding' sections as they help to consolidate key information.
